JOHN A. REDMAN 16 Ledyard Street Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts Red Battalion Adj., Shellback, Bluenose, Muster Staff, Chaos Committee, Rifle Club. What manner of creature is this? A body covered with down and a method of locomotion unlike any we have ever seen. This was Red. The wise old sage of the Submarine Service had come to see what the top of the sea looked like. Red quickly settled down to the routine of academy life and was rewarded in his last year with the Big Three. This was a boon to the class because now we could always get the straight dope on what was going on upstairs. Aside from his ability to spin yarns, the Vulch has proven himself an able seaman. We know that this, coupled with his lighten- ing wit and instantaneous reflexes, will make him a fine Merchie officer. JOHN WILSON DOHERTY, JR. 47 Eastbourne Street Roslindale, Massachusetts Dorrah Battalion Commander, Commander Honor Guard, Gull Society, Birdland Lounge Pres., Shellback, Muster Staff. Square Jack, the lady killer was des- tined to wear the big four, for our last year at the academy, from the day he stepped aboard. In this position he has set quite a course for the following year ' s four stripers to steer. Jackson may be best remembered for his performance as Master of Ceremonies for the Birdland Lounge , on our final training cruise. We feel certain that Jack will rise to the top in whatever occupation that he goes into after school and all we can say is smooth sailing, Jack. 24
